There were Paddock's crisp sausages and fragrant shavings of bacon, and shapely poached eggs--how often I had turned up my nose at them!
Par exemple les croustillantes saucisses de Paddock et ses savoureux émincés de lard, et ses moelleux œufs pochés – combien de fois m'en étais-je détourné avec dédain!

Still, although he had already been compromised in various affairs, he had invariably managed to save his own bacon, whilst his companions were kept under lock and key; and this they were now beginning to think somewhat singular.
